Retinol isn’t just for your face — the rest of your body deserves its benefits too!

Cake batters, cookie doughs, breads, frostings, meringues — you name it, I’ve probably made it using this mighty machine.

At 4.5 quarts, this No. 1 bestseller can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time, though it won’t take up much room in your kitchen. Oh, and you’ll get a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun.

In the market for an upgrade from your crusty cookware? Look no further. This set scored high marks in a test conducted by one Yahoo editor, who said, “[These pots and pans are] easy to maneuver and not overly heavy, yet distribute heat evenly. The nonstick surface has an unusual texture that feels a bit like sandpaper but works so well. … This set’s most valuable asset is its nonstick surface. I scrambled eggs in the 8-inch frying pan using less than a teaspoon of cooking oil. The eggs slid right off the surface like they were on a luge, and the chicken breast I seared browned nicely with no residue left behind.”

With so many knives on the market, shopping for a new blade can be overwhelming. Well, one Yahoo editor put a bunch to the test, and this one came out on top. “After slicing and dicing with nine worthy knives, I consider the Global Classic Chef’s Knife to be the Goldilocks of this category — it’s not too heavy and not too light, and it slices through almost everything as if your food is as soft as Marshmallow Fluff,” she said. “The knife felt balanced in my hand, was easy to maneuver and the blade was remarkably sharp. It was a pleasure to use, and while not a traditional-looking knife, it has a modern steel design that I love.” Another thing to love? That nearly $60 discount!

This powerful 7-pounder tackles pet hair and crumbs like it’s nothing, according to our resident vacuum tester, Kristin Granero. She awarded it the title of “best cordless stick vacuum” in her roundup, saying it “hit the sweet spot in our testing for a sleek vacuum that offers solid performance, along with some snazzy features, at a competitive price.”

She went on to praise its narrow brush head that “swivels like a dream” and described it as “lightweight” and “incredibly quiet — enough that it probably wouldn’t wake a sleeping baby.” You’ll be able to see dirt hiding in dark spaces, thanks to its headlights, and it even has a dust sensor that’ll automatically adjust the power depending on how much extra cleaning oomph is required. As for suction? Granero called it “superb,” saying it was a champ at “mowing down faux fur, sand, kitty litter, rice and cereal with ease.” It’s only ever dipped lower than its current price during Prime Day.
